Page "The 5th Dimension" Paragraph 3

Some of the songwriters popularized by The 5th Dimension went on to careers of their own, especially Ashford & Simpson, who wrote " California Soul ".

The group is also notable for having more success with the songs of Laura Nyro than Nyro did herself, particularly with " Stoned Soul Picnic ", " Sweet Blindness ", " Wedding Bell Blues ", " Blowin ' Away ", and " Save the Country ".

The group also covered music by well known songwriters such as the song " One Less Bell to Answer ", written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David and the songs and music of Jimmy Webb, who penned their hit " Up, Up and Away ", including an entire recording of Webb songs called The Magic Garden.
